Is what's happening in America a disgrace?

Joshua Clark7 said:Maybe when those leftist idols of yours actually let them earn enough to provide a decent life for their kids. You think these Catholics are just mindless animals who do nothing but sleep around and breed? Honestly, when you spend your mornings reading the Bible, it’s no wonder you think this way. Unlike actual believers, you don't even realize how deep your own faith goes or what kind of "god" you're actually worshipping. Besides, maybe you progressives should try having more than one kid. Just so Catholic kids don't have to work themselves to death just to fund your retirement. But I guess you wouldn't want to suffer that kind of humiliation...

William Brown4 said:I read somewhere that in nearby Trieste, there were more divorces than weddings... I wouldn't be surprised if that trend starts spreading through America too.☕

Ryan Thompson said:Major, reputable outlets like The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal tend to run quite a bit of negative coverage regarding the state of affairs here in America. Unfortunately, they aren't entirely wrong in their assessments.

Why can't we be just as cool and modern?

William Brown4 said:And why didn't you tell me how many kids you have?☕

rowdyhound5 said:That was a particularly nasty thing to say... Honestly, if you look at the wealth held by the extended Franjo Harmon family versus how many children they all collectively have... surely you aren't suggesting that a villa on Nazorovoy, a condo overlooking Times Square, and a long-standing lease on a Lady Šram restaurant they never bothered to pay for, wasn't enough to encourage them to "try" a little harder?

Yes, Catholics aren't allowed to use abortion or contraception. That much is perfectly obvious... 😁

The notion that the government is obligated to guarantee a comfortable lifestyle is nothing more than a leftover relic from the Communist era... The state doesn't owe anyone anything. Even under Communism, people worked—in fact, they were forced to work for the state while juggling one or more side hustles just to build up any semblance of assets. It wasn't that the "state provided" for them; it was that they clawed everything they had out of existence through their own labor, which is why their descendants have something today. If you spend years grinding away, never taking a vacation or a single day off, just to provide for your spouse and kids... well, sure, faith in God might help sustain you, but clearly, most people today lack that true conviction and merely perform the role...

loneviper2 said:I'm sorry, but why on earth would I feel the need to tell you that? ☕

William Brown4 said:I'm not a Democrat, and I'd add that even as a believer, everything needs its limits.☕ And remember, the thief was none other than the pious Ivica, who came from a perfectly respectable Catholic family.☕

William Brown4 said:Well, let's see just how much you're actually contributing to keeping the nation going, since you're so obsessed with extinction.☕

loneviper2 said:Oh, so it doesn't bother you if it's written into law?
Then why on earth would the Constitution be an issue for you?

And don't forget, us "insignificant factors" actually make up the majority of this country.
Give me a break.🙂))

loneviper2 said:So, standing up for marriage as a union between a man and a woman is considered "too much" now?

Give me a break...🤣

William Brown4 said:That can be handled through legislation, not through the Constitution... regardless, you just like to click without actually saying anything. You aren't making an impact here in America, so I’m going to keep ignoring you.☕

William Brown4 said:I don't expect you to grasp the distinction here. The Constitution should outline fundamental values meant to last for ages, since it serves as a nation's sacred foundation. And I have no idea what source you're pulling this from—claiming marriage is strictly between a man and a woman and must stay that way forever... did God whisper that one into your ear or something?☕

Well, that’s it then. Short, sweet, and utterly profound. I'm practically speechless.

Joshua Clark7 said:So you’re blaming the leftovers from the communist era. Seriously? Then what’s the point of a capitalist state? Is its only job to pad the pockets of the ultra-rich and force everyone else onto welfare? Because they’re doing a hell of a job at that, and I bet the big shots in Washington are thrilled. All this minor criticism just gives them more room to tighten their grip... I mean, how much private property do we actually have left to grab? There's still plenty of room for them to move in...

Terry Walker74 said:It isn't time for a revolution because_
- you don't have a concrete objective for the revolution;
- you don't have a structured program with the specific points that a revolution absolutely must implement;
- you lack the leadership required to spearhead it.

Just being dissatisfied with the status quo simply isn't enough on its own.
